Ok, on with the next round of enabling for all you Yarn Crawlers...because that's what we're here for!

The Mini Yarn Market will be Yarn in the City's third show, and Textile Garden has been at all of them. Their fantastic array of buttons and brooches are always popular, and there's always a crowd around the booth looking for the perfect finishing touch for their most recent knit!

We've got another great pairing up next - the amazing dyers behind this year's custom colourways for the GLYC Anniversary KAL - Travelknitter and The Wool Kitchen!

These two dyers have very different styles, but their colourways work together so well, that their combined stall is a thing of beauty. Travelknitter will be bringing a full range of her gorgeous Tanami, including Midnight Fireflies and a special batch of Fireflies Dark! Be sure to check out what other new beauties they may have brought to the show...

We're excited to have Walcot Yarns, the brain child of shop owners Carmen Schmidt and Sharon Spencer, joining us from Bath, with their gorgeous Opus yarn, which launched to great acclaim at this year's Edinburgh Yarn Festival!

Available in an array of gorgeous, saturated shades, as well as undyed white and grey, Opus is a wonderful mix of merino and alpaca, that makes for a super luxurious yarn!

I don't know about the rest of you, but my stash enhancement restraint is stretched to the breaking point, and we still have one more round of vendors to share with you. So. Much. Yarn.

Hello! 👋
We’ve had quite a few new followers recently and with the #yarnlovechallenge starting today we thought it might be a nice way to introduce ourselves again!
Day 1: Intro!
We are (l-r) @porpoise_fur (Rachel) and @champagneandqiviut (Alli) and together we create and host yarn-centric events in and around London and sometimes the wider UK. 🇬🇧 We also love visiting yarn shows and meeting awesome makers - then sharing those finds on our podcast or hosting those makers at our #Yarnporium. We also put together the annual Great London Yarn Crawl which is a fantastic day out in September every year.
If you’re not able to join us in London when we have an event on, we also host a weekly Stitch Night in SW London near to Clapham Junction, and we’ve published a couple of books on where to find the best yarn shops in the city!
If you’d like to know more about our events, click the link in our profile to sign up for our newsletter or download our podcast from our website or on iTunes. 😊

One last post before everyone scatters for Christmas.
We’ve joined @rosygreenwool and @mairlynd in their campaign to support the Against Malaria Foundation @againstmalaria.
If you’re making any charitable donations this holiday season or if you still have a little extra to give, we’d love to encourage you to support this fundraiser.
Wishing each and every one of you and yours the best this holiday.
